Description
From hardcore tactical applications to recreational target shooting, March’s FX Compact Tactical Shorty Gen II 1-10x24mm Riflescope reigns supreme. It overall design is remarkable lightweight and low profile, weighing about the same as a water bottle, and measuring in at just over 8-inches. One of the optic’s more notable feature is its dual focal plane reticle, allowing the user to reap the benefits of both a first focal plane and second focal plane: the reticle shrinks and grows as the user zooms in and out like a first focal plane scope, but the thickness of the reticle’s lines remain the same like a second focal plane. The second focal plane reticle features a daylight-visible illuminated fiber optic dot which can be used as a red dot sight when set to 1x magnification. The illuminated dot is visible throughout the entire 10x magnification range, and the first focal plane reticle scale comes seamlessly into view as the magnification is increased. Like all of the premium scopes offered by March, the FX Compact Tactical Shorty Gen II is outfitted with extra low dispersion ED lenses. This delivers a clear sight picture free of chromatic aberration even when set to higher magnificationOther features of the FX Compact Tactical Shorty Gen II Riflescope include the innovative Shuriken elevation and windage turrets. Named after the star-shaped throwing knife used by ninjas, the Shuriken turrets are lockable to prevent accidental adjustment and are color-coded for easy identification of their status with red indicating locked and white indicating unlocked. The Shuriken turrets are especially useful for making adjustments in the field, as the riflescope’s elevation zero point can be set at any position. In addition, the FX Compact Tactical Shorty Gen II Riflescope features a remarkably durable construction. The walls of the body are 4mm thick, allowing the scope to easily withstand impact tests up to 1000G, and Argon purging provides excellent resistance to water and fogging.

Understanding Rifle Scope Basics
Magnification
Magnification refers to how much larger an object appears through the scope compared to the naked eye. Fixed power scopes have one magnification setting, while variable power scopes offer a range (e.g., 3-9x).
Objective Lens
The objective lens is the front lens that gathers light. Larger objective lenses (measured in mm) gather more light, providing brighter images in low-light conditions but add weight and require higher mounting.
Reticle
The reticle (crosshair) is the aiming point inside the scope. Modern scopes offer various reticle designs, from simple duplex crosshairs to complex ballistic reticles with holdover points for different distances.
Adjustments
Rifle scopes have turrets for windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) adjustments. These are measured in MOA (minutes of angle) or MRAD (milliradians) and allow precise aiming adjustments.
Proper Scope Mounting Guide
Select the Right Rings & Base
Choose rings that match your scope's tube diameter (typically 1", 30mm, or 34mm). Select a base compatible with your rifle's receiver. For heavy-recoiling rifles, opt for stronger mounts.
Install the Base
Clean the receiver and base thoroughly. Apply a small amount of blue Loctite to the screws. Attach the base to the receiver and torque the screws to manufacturer specifications.
Attach the Rings
Attach the bottom halves of the rings to the base. Place the scope in the rings and loosely attach the top halves. Don't fully tighten yet.
Set Eye Relief & Level
Position the scope for proper eye relief (3-4 inches) in your normal shooting position. Ensure the reticle is level using a scope leveling tool. Once positioned correctly, tighten the rings evenly in a cross-pattern.
Scope Zeroing Tips
Start Close
Begin zeroing at a shorter distance (25-50 yards) to ensure you're on paper before moving to your desired zero distance (typically 100 yards).
Use a Stable Rest
Always zero your rifle from a stable shooting position using a bench rest, sandbags, or a shooting rest to eliminate as much human error as possible.
Fire Groups
Fire 3-shot groups before making adjustments. This provides a more accurate representation of where your rifle is shooting than single shots.
Make Deliberate Adjustments
Know your scope's adjustment values (typically 1/4 MOA per click). If your group is 2 inches low at 100 yards, you'll need to adjust up 8 clicks (for a 1/4 MOA scope).
Confirm Your Zero
After making adjustments, fire another group to confirm your zero. Repeat the process until your point of impact matches your point of aim.
Document Your Settings
Once zeroed, record your settings including distance, ammunition used, and environmental conditions for future reference.
